I am in Vic. When you certifier do you mean the building surveyor? If so I have contacted them making them aware of the situation and have received no email response from them so far. In Victoria, the building surveyor has to be appointed by the owner who he then works for, not the builder. Did you...

I'm wondering whether the run on is caused by a faulty non return valve but it's very hard to diagnose noises by text. Davey service dept are worth a try but you will probably have to take it to a pump repair centre. Davey should be able to suggest one. A lot of submersible pumps have short life spa...

Downpipes are usually shown as nominal positions on the plans. The downpipe is where it is because there is a spreader discharging a concentrated flow of water from the upper roof to the section of gutter where the downpipe is.

It is also best to have the inlet basket mesh within arm's reach of the overflow pipe so that the overflow outlet's me...
